JOHN CANNON: Mr. Klass near top of class
Jesse Stuart wrote that great teachers continue to have a positive role in the lives of their students that will last a lifetime. Like most adults, I can name a handful of great teachers in grade school, high school and college who have had a greater influence on my life than they probably ever knew. I consider James Klass, who I had for senior English and public speaking during the 1965-66 school at Miami Trace High School near Washington Court House, Ohio, to be the best teacher I ever had before attending college at Morehead State University, where I graduated in 1970.
